How Vitamin B5 Heals the Skin - A Look Into Our Radiance Formula for Sensitive Acne-Prone Skin

As we prepare and countdown for our upcoming launch, we’ll be taking a closer look into all the wonderful healing, soothing and hydrating ingredients within our Radiance Soft Crème formula. 

So what makes the formula so great at soothing irritated skin and repairing the skin barrier?

Alongside other incredible skin-comforting ingredients such as glycerin and ceramides, Vitamin B5 (also known as panthenol) works to reduce redness, calm irritation and heal the skin barrier for soft, healthy skin.  

If your skin is sensitive, easily irritated, or recovering from breakouts or treatments, Vitamin B5 is one of the first ingredients you should reach for.

Vitamin B5 (panthenol) is a water-soluble vitamin that's part of the B complex family.It is skin-strengthening vitamin that uniquely acts as both a humectant and an emollient. 

When applied to the skin, it acts like a humectant—attracting and holding moisture—while also supporting your skin’s natural repair process. Like that one friend that you can always count on, Vitamin B5 is reliable, essential, and always there when you need a little TLC.

You’ll find Vitamin B5 naturally in foods like avocado, mushrooms, sweet potatoes, sunflower seeds, and whole grains.

If you're looking to add more Vitamin B5 into your skin food grocery list this week, we got you: 

In our formula, Vitamin B5 topically works to: 

And yes—it’s that good. In clinical settings, panthenol has even been shown to accelerate wound healing and reduce inflammation. So imagine what it can do for your everyday barrier repair.

At BEDA, we believe great skincare doesn’t need to be complicated. Our philosophy is simple but intentional:

 Multi-tasking formulas = Simplified routines, maximized results .

Your skin doesn’t need 10 steps—it needs smart ingredients that do more than one thing. That’s why all of our formulas are designed to be hard-working, barrier-supporting, and always kind to your skin.

Vitamin B5 is a team player. It works beautifully alongside other healing superstars like Vitamin F (a fatty acid powerhouse that replenishes and soothes) and ceramides (your barrier’s best friend). Together, they create a multi-level healing system for sensitive, stressed-out skin.

The result? Calmer, stronger skin with fewer products—and fewer reasons to stress.

And that’s the BEDA way: thoughtful formulas with no fillers or fluff. Every ingredient earns its place.

For those of us with extremely sensitive skin dealing with dullness or acne scarring, Vitamin C can feel too harsh. While it works wonders for some, extra-sensitive skin needs something gentler and more stable. 

The Radiance Soft Crème is our answer to brightening without the irritation—a deeply restorative moisturiser designed for anyone who’s been burned (literally or figuratively) by harsh actives or overcomplicated routines.

Our gentle formula multi-tasks for you so you can do more with less. Vitamin B5 works particularly well with other barrier repair ingredients such as glycerin and ceramides, which is why you’ll find them in our new Radiance Soft Crème. 

Radiance is coming very soon. If you’re craving results and gentleness, you’re going to want to stick around.

Until then, we’re sharing weekly ingredient deep-dives so you can get to know your skincare inside and out. Because at BEDA, we don’t just want you to love how your skin looks. We want you to understand why it’s thriving.

Stay tuned, and get ready to fall in love with Vitamin B5 (and everything it plays so well with).

With love,
